Kristians physique is wiiiide. He’s built like a CrossFit athlete yet runs like kipchoge. Madness.

[@onepunchbud1472]

I guess he is a rare genetically exception. Alternatively he is juiced as f - but I really really hope that's not the case.

[@dbo4506]

Haha no offence, he does not look like a CrossFit athlete 😂 he has no traps and his arms are tiny.

[@cycledelics]

He’s definitely doped AF…just like all the other top level long course guys.

[@MatzeMumpitz]

@@cycledelics Troll. Guilty only when proven guilty.

[@cycledelics]

@@MatzeMumpitz I suppose you haven’t paid attention to endurance sports at any point in the last 40-50 years?

[@danobrien8522]

PTO Canadian open was such a good race! And Ashleigh Gentle destroyed the women’s field as well and won by over two minutes. Epic race. Absolutely love the PTO races

[@gozali89]

I love running and ever following this competition. ❤❤❤

[@robinmatthews2997]

Your youtube videos from almost a year ago is how i found you and fell in love with your podcast and loved pro triathlon so much more. Fantastic video as per and I hope they keep coming. They're phenomenal!

[@nelson_alexander]

That PTO Canadian Open was one of my favourite races to watch. I remember feeling so sad for Alistair when he blew up.

[@loulew07]

Thanks for your POD cast with Messick , you did great job . Been following Ironman since 1985 , that company is long gone . Your interview was the nail in the coffin for me . Thank you so much, and great videos , keep up the good work

[@ryanchester7345]

Great to see you posting again, Keep them coming!

[@aalamsulski8631]

great vid! these vids are entertraining and fill a large gap that there is in triathlon content, would love to see more.

[@mouzonenyc]

Plenty more of this please, mate. You're killing it over on the poddy, too.

[@davidmostertvlogs1319]

This is some phenomenal story telling Jack Well bloody done mate

[@bakerdj80]

More videos like this please! Love the podcasts too. Thanks.

[@srolchi]

quality uploads! Thank you

[@hamjam9988]

Always loved your videos, so happy you haven't stopped completely.

[@thetriathlonhour]

I’m going to be releasing them at least once a month from now at absolute minimum!

[@akg5306]

Very happy to have you posting videos again, just subscribed for more fingers crossed. I also loved the Olav interviews, would take a course on a breakdown of that one for sure, might have to re-listen and take some notes.

[@andrewsheehy2441]

Really great analysis and engaging delivery - well done! These two Norse dudes are next-gen tri machines.

[@fatradanmalana3756]

Thanks for your POD

[@MrJacobmetcalf]

This was a wonderful video it makes me want to do triathlon again thank you

[@justinjohnson8704]

Good work! It would be cool to have a recap video of each PTO race this year (Roth & Nice while you’re at it).

[@amheron]

Brilliant - hoping Alistair can stay fit and really see what he can do with the Norwegian train this year.

[@DanielCastro-nw7bj]

Great video!

[@ttvance9206]

This was great!

[@hanybadawi3605]

Very good video cheers guys

[@Pepepepino8989]

Since yesterday this video leaves you thinking twice🤔

[@IvarKoster]

After the Lance era I'm always a little bit wary of these huge dream crushing performances.

[@Rashednaber]

Thank you for the truly amazing content!! What is the name of your podcast?

[@jackkelly1856]

It’s called How They Train

[@juancarlosjuancarlos4629]

Alistair is not only best short course triathlete ever, he is triathlon GOAT. Alistair was defeated only by injuries, never dethroned

[@irondoc1251]

😂😂😂 How often did he win Hawai?

[@juancarlosjuancarlos4629]

@@irondoc1251 winning WTS race is much harder then winning Kona. And Alistair did it 22 times. Alistair was so good that Kona was not on his priority list. Same as Gomez. They were both competitive in WTS circuit so there was no point to race long distance races from 2009-2016 when Alistair was at his peak years

[@Kate_Short-For-Bob]

2 Olympic golds tells you what Ali B's priorities were.

[@robbo3132]

this is a fantastic analysis - the norwegian boys are 8% better than the best 9 pro men who almost cross the line together - the triathlon world was not ready for guys 8% better, that can switch short and long course any time and break all the records and win gold and do red bull stunt records at a whim...... incredible! by the way Kristian was a great domestique in Kona ;)

[@IvarKoster]

Incredible indeed

[@cycledelics]

Performance boost from blood vector doping is somewhere in the 8-10% range according to data and anecdotes from no-namers like Lance Armstrong. Just sayin…

[@kaspermittel]

What's your thoughts on focussing on long distance from a young age? Taking into consideration kelvin kiptum. Aren't athletes actually at their peak between 20-25 (also forong distance) instead of being 'better' at long distance at age 25-35 which is something now commonly beleived?

[@sarifaharies1183]

Good job

[@carlosvinhas4266]

Please do a video about Xterra Triathlon. Specially about Flora Duffy history (she won 6 times the world's)

[@susigan]

Please make the Podcast in Video too!

[@TheSportsman1977]

Does their diet consist of chicken and broccoli? ;-)

[@FaiscaaaH]

EPO through the eyeballs ;)

[@GiantHeero]

If you want the videos to be better, I'd suggest adding some music in the background throughout the video.

[@bobdown5520]

Really wonder how Crowie and Macca would of went in PTO RACES

[@pcro860]

Do they follow “Norwegian training” with precise intervals focused on threshold governed by lactate testing like the runners? Curious about how that would cross over to multisport

[@cycledelics]

“Norwegian Training” is kinda like the “Kenyan Training” or “Jamaican Training” Microdose EPO, leverage anabolics, blast stimulants

[@akg5306]

Gustav lost his nutrition on the bike that race I thought? Or was that a different race?

[@T100Triathlon]

The Norwegian train could not be stopped in 2022 🚂🇳🇴

[@rickyfebriantoabdullah1638]

Positif konten amazing

[@lucasrodriguezrincon3799]

Any idea what Gustav cap says ? Its Korean or something

[@zhouye7647]

it is a name of a taoist temple in taiwan, he think this cap give him good luck.

[@kitman530]

"in a single season" this is the most important part of the sentence.

[@NurHayati-ol6ne]

Saat muda saya suka lari pagi dan lomba lari maraton

[@paulhockin5264]

Does the fact kristian competed in the olympics give credence him being less likely to dope. I assume the olympic anti doping is much more stringent.

[@bongiornobella]

Pumped up with peptides

[@jonnor6883]

according with norwegian rules most he all the time tell the national Anti-Doping Norway where they are at all time. They can expect testing at any time. And if they are caught are the chances to participate in next olympic none

[@chenliang5263]

Blummenfelt looks more bulky than most athletes. Seem strange. But he is fast.

[@vits-swimtrainingevolution9886]

They're quick, but not unthinkable fast - thats the general question, what is actually possible, what would it take for. What if? - And what if not. Thats the still hidden way of VITS, the thinking behind, and the journey of construcing new methods and opportunities, for to be quicker as the yet quickest.

[@JBDazen]

If the best triathlete in the world is that big, I guess I'm in the wrong sport to lose weight...

[@robbo3132]

losing by 1 minute 30 at 3 minute per km pace means he was 500 meters behind - it was not a sprint situation ;)

[@honeyvee8389]

How can you be a world champion if you have not beaten Jan Frodeno?

[@dubplateriddim]

Run Gum.

[@chris_floyd1]

Anyone else here from Coffee Club?

[@se5080]

Like taking dbol from a baby lol

[@jfloyo11]

lol what do you mean "the day"...they have been doing it now for years.

[@robertmuckle2985]

Who else is asking "how the F can a behemoth like Kristian dominate a run race"? This doesn't only break all norms of physics ie: (P2W ratios)...it actually makes me lauģh! If this boi is full natty....then I'm Jesus f"ing Christ!!😂

[@randomd286]

OH SHIT ITS THE SECOND COMING!!!! Honey grab the lube!

[@cycledelics]

It amazes me how noobs on here can’t fathom a top level endurance athlete doping…it seems triathlon fans are willfully naive to it.

[@rc198028]

​@@cycledelicsI am new to triathlon but what actually amazes me more is the level of naivety of those who have been around the sport for a long time. We know doping is common in most endurance sports but somehow triathletes are different.

[@ejquezad]

I wonder why these two have not said anything about the current doping scandal. Makes me wonder,, after all, their coach is an expert in science and they could be smart about it. Not accusing them, just wondering. Don't trash me for it.

[@brakerbraker829]

The same way their equally unbeatable compatriot Ingebrigtsen does.... If it's too good to be true, it probably isn't!🤔

[@TheSteinbitt]

We admit it, we started a state sponsored doping program in 2015 to equal that of Russia in skiing, but then started taking it to all athletes as it worked so well! 😅

[@brakerbraker829]

Very true and who can forget the juiced Finn Lasse Viren and his ridiculous triple Olympic gold? The sophistication and subtelty is far advanced from those years. I never believed the Norwegian dominance in winter endurance sports.

[@sebali6303]

Destroyed Everyone?! What a BS. Jan Frodeno is the best 🔥🔥🔥💪

[@saysoco]

hey Jack. can i email you somehow/somewhere? (there's no contact deets in your KZbin About section). or are you on Twitter (can't find you there and i don't do Insta)

[@rylanrussell9595]

Damn, that Norwegian EPO train is incredible!
